Why do we get sudden urges to get bangs? Is the straight fringe coming back? Who suits it? All of your questions are answered right here, let’s go.
Fringe trends come and go faster than the produce in your fridge and, whichever variation and length takes your fancy, there’s always a time for good old bangs. Case(s) in point:
Jessica Chastain
Our favourite Hollywood redhead can do no wrong, and her casual fling with bangs is no exception.
Daisy Edgar Jones
Newcomer on the acting scene, Daisy Edgar Jones makes youthful bangs oh-so-appealing.
Duckie Thot
Aussie Model Duckie Thot rocks even the most outrageous styles, and has been known to wear a fringe so gracefully it could convince us all to embrace the bangs.
Zooey Deschanel
Perhaps the queen of the fringe, Zooey doesn’t look like herself with her famous bangs. Her low-maintenance blended bangs are the perfect complement for her thick locks.
Dakota Johnson
Another icon, Ms Johnson frequents the wispy, non-committal fringe look.
A full fringe generally suits those with a longer forehead and oval face shape, but don’t let that deter you from experimenting. Your hairdresser will tell you if they don’t think something is a good idea, and should offer alternatives to whichever trend or timeless style you’re chasing.
We tend to love a fringe on dark hair - rich brunettes and ashy browns frame the face really nicely, as do blondes with a few lowlights throughout. Bonus points for the big sunnies + fringe combo, the ultimate cool girl look.
Remember: a fringe is a commitment, perhaps mores than a standard haircut. Rolling out of bed in the morning won’t cut it and getting your fringe to look like you’re fresh out of the salon takes a little TLC. Tame your bangs using the best velcro rollers on the market.
